The basement of a veteran shopping mall located in the central business district of Singapore affords opportunities to a group of amateur and semi-professional musicians, of different ethnicities, ages, and generations to make a sonic way of life. Based on five years of deep participatory experience, this multi-modal (text, musical composition, social media, performance) sonic ethnography is centered around a community of noisy people who make rock music within the constraints of urban life in Singapore. The heart and soul of this community is English Language rock and roll music pioneered in Singapore by several members of the 1960s legendary \u201cbeats and blues\u201d band, The Straydogs, who continue to engage this community in a sonic way of life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Grounded in debates from sound studies, Ferzacca draws on Bruno Latour\u2019s ideas of the social\u2014continually emergent, constantly in-the-making, \u201cassociations of heterogeneous elements\u201d of human and non-human \u201cmediators and intermediaries\u201d\u2014to portray a community entangled in the confounding relations between vernacular and national heritage projects. Music shops, music gear, music genres, sound, urban space, neighborhoods, State presence, performance venues, practice spaces, regional travel, local, national, regional, and sonic histories afford expected and unexpected opportunities for work, play, and meaning, in the contemporary music scene in this Southeast Asian city-state. The emergent quality of this deep sound is fiercely cosmopolitan, yet entirely Singaporean. What emerges is a vernacular heritage drawing upon Singapore\u2019s unique place in Southeast Asian and world history.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
